Do you have the meters to measure the temperature drop across the cooler
and the flow through it. If I was doing it I would attach thermocouples at
various points to try to make sense of it.
Of course it's much easier to talk about it here in the cheering section
than it is to do it so keep talking to us.

the cooler (oops) that was never able to bring the temp down.
